is the glass in the middle thin - easy to break? What color is the glass - is it black?

Yes, the glass in the middle is black, very thick and seems sturdy. If handled like any other glass, it should keep, not worried much about the glass breaking. We are very happy with this set. Very elegant, easy to put together. Took me, alone, less than an hour to do it.

The glass is black, you cannot see through it. It is 1/4" thick and seems to be very durable. We are pleased with this set.

It's a thicker glass, so not bad once you get it outside. The problem I have had is getting it shipped in one piece. Once you get one, though, I haven't had any trouble with it outside. Just be sure not to leave water in it through the winter or it will freeze and break. I bring mine in for winter and have had it for years now, no problem. I do have a friend that just turns hers over during winter and that seems to work as well.

The glass is tough. I have had it on rig for about 6months And it has seen some abuse. Still in great shape.

Yes, it is a green glass container. So if it's dropped hard enough it will break, but the glass is pretty thick & sturdy.

It's glass, I've bought two of these. If you accidentally knock it down, such as off the refrigerator or freezer shelf, it will land face down and the glass will shatter. Then you'll know it's glass, because you'll need to clean up the sharp shards.

I believe it was glass but mine died on me very soon after buying it. I'd go in another direction. Not worth it IMO.

NO. Its thin and brittle. I bought two. First one I thought might have been my fault (it wasn't) Second time it cracked and flooded my kitchen. It's a good idea with poor execution. I bought a 3 gallon glass bottle. Heavy but won't break unless I'm a real knucklehead!

It seems pretty strong, but it is glass and I could see it breaking if a heavy enough object fell into it hard.

No, if it is a sturdy glass, it is not tempered. Tempered glass does not mean the glass will not break, but at least you will have less chance to be injuried.

I just returned one. The glass was broken. It looks really thin. Should I dare order another one. I just got my refund email. Please advise.

Hello. I just peeled it off, even cracked it came off in (mostly) one piece, it is hardened glass, so not to sound like your mom: be careful. Ciao

I don't know the diffrence but it does seem like it's a cheep glass and can break very easily

Yeah, I mean, it's tempered glass, if your worried, make a case so you can drop it, get pipe foam from hardware store and black gorilla tape. I'm not going to lie to you and say if you drop it dead center on the glass on rock that it's not gonna shatter. Think IPad glass.

a thin,metal like tin top, and glass part is not a heavy glass. there are no roough angles or cuts in the glass . I know it is what I expected, nothing really fancy or expensive. But it looks elegently nice ontop of my furniture and is perfect for the size powder puff I purchased seperatly. Like they were made for each other. Would be fine for young child above the age of 8 yrs old I think. Hope this answers your question.

i have had mine for a few months now, the glass does seem thin but I have had no problem, I have banged it against a pan more than once. I do love the look

Its about 6mm thick (almost as thick as a pencil) and is tempered glass. Mine is very solid without being too heavy.

It is glass. These glass is heavy enough to be functional, without being too heavy. I have no regrets whatsoever over buying these glasses. Hope this helps you out :)
